Born and raised in the frigid Ural region of Russia to scientist parents, Katya developed a deep sense of resilience and curiosity early in life. She studied economics and began her career in finance and economic development during a time of rapid transformation in her country as it emerged from communism. Her journey took a dramatic turn when she moved to Chicago with her husband and young daughter, knowing little English. Determined to build a new life, Katya not only integrated into an entirely different culture but also thrived, running her own businesses, including a successful web design company. Eventually, Katya followed her passion for helping others achieve physical and emotional well-being. She became a certified nurse in both New York and California and a certified yoga coach, dedicating over 20 years to this practice. She opened yoga studios and led women’s well-being groups across the globe, from Germany and Switzerland to Saudi Arabia, fostering empowerment and connection in diverse communities. Her expertise led her to work with luxury clinics catering to A-list celebrities and recovery centers specializing in eating disorders and addictions. Now, Katya is driven by a mission to make these transformative services more accessible to everyone, blending her wealth of experience to help individuals achieve holistic wellness.
